When we try to copy and paste a element in the cluster constant its not replacing its added as the new element.but it working well in the control and indicator
The figure explains the problem

Paste-Replace is currently only a front panel feature. The fact that it hasn't been implemented on the block diagram is more of a feature request than a bug. I would say this idea post is suggesting that paste-replace work on the block diagram as well. Which I agree with.
So what you're saying is that you have a cluster that isn't a typedef and you're having trouble using it. Sounds like the solution to me is to make it a typedef... then you'd be editing its type on the front panel! 🙂
Ok, joking aside... I agree constants and controls should function the same. This isn't my area of the code so I don't know how to address this myself, but I like the idea.
@AQ: sure, but when it is easier to create the typedef on the block diagram (because that's where the data structure exists initially)? I was about to submit the same idea for that specific case (on my way to create a typedef, but the initial structure was easier to create on the block diagram - I had to create a few controls to go around this limitation).
